INSTEAD or HANGING.
What Electricians Say of Taking Life by
Means of Battery.


Means OF Battery.
An electrician Ct the Edison building,
in Pearl street. where electricity is
manufactured for Illuminating pur-
poses, was asked how people might be
killed with neatness and dispatch by
electricity. He said that it was the
easiest matter in the world. All con-
iemned man would have 70 do at the
hour and moment when he was to leave
the world for brighter elines. would be
to take hold of two wires, one connected
with q positive battery and the other
with a negative battery. Acting thus
as conductor between the two wires
the electricity would go through him
like stroke of lightning He would
die in an infinitesimal fraction of q
second. His taking of would be a.
painless rs it was sudden. He would
never know what had hit him
He might stand on two plates. re-
ceive the electric current through his
toes and die with his boots on. He
might sit In chair with his feet rest
ing on the plates, and die comfortably.
Killing the condemned by electricity
IS humane, civilized and scientific
way of disposing of them. 4 alesa IS
usually sixteen minutes dying at the
end of hangman's rope, and he usu-
ally suffers a great dess before death
comes to relieve him. a oae-een bat
terry would kill all the prisoners who
will ever be hanged in the Tonbs
under the present law. The only peo-
pie opposed to the use of electricity III
capital punishment are the hangmen.
and they are opposed to 1t because it
would throw them out of work If the
gallowses are taken down all the hang
men in the country will strike.-N Y

THE SONG The slFeNs SANG.


In sea caves dark and rocks where hides
The restless wind that haunts the sea-
Where murmuring waves and moaning tides
Chant their unceasing melody:
In meadows bright with fadeless spring,
Where dead mems bones the light defiles,
What were the songs they used TO sing
The sirens of this sunny isles
Soft brsathed Dnd tender, sweet nud low,
Across the waters dark and wild,
The wanderer heard their numbers fiow,
And all his soul their charm beguLed;
Swift through the breakers snowy foam
He drove his bark with painting breath,
Forgetting wife and child and home
While sirens sang him 70 his death
We know their sorgs-thcy had but one
Odysseus heard the fateful thing;
And madness seized Laeries son,
Who heard The Flowers that Bloom IN
Spring."
And stnl unchanged IN air or word,
The sirens sing, with tireiess breath,
The same old song Ulysses heard,
And with IL still sing men 10 death.

succeed the lstc Chief John MouDipleassnt.
The ordination was solcmnized by the
ancient civic and pagan rites OF the Six
Nations, and II was an impressive and In.
terestiDg ceremony. Such an ordination
has not taken place among the Tuscaroras
in over sixty year,, and II Il doubted
whether II viii ever take place again, as
the customs are last being forgotten, and
another generation will find no chiefs left,
II IS feai ed, who will know the chants,
rites, and laws OF hereditary craftsmanship.
When the venerable and beloved Sachem
Mountpleassnt died last year the tribe lost
It's head and father. fIe belonged TO the
Bear Clan. His wife, sister OF the noted
Indian, General Parker, who was on Gene
